Start Preamble

Title: LIHEAP Program Integrity Assessment and Plan.

OMB No.: New Collection.

Description: Under prior guidance, the Chief Executive Officer in States, Tribes or Territories is required to certify in the LIHEAP State Plan that the grantee will uphold all rules, regulations, and policies associated with the LIHEAP program. As cited above, grantees must have in place policies that address waste, fraud and abuse.

Presidential Executive Order 13520, reducing Improper Payments and Eliminating Waste in Federal Programs, issued in November 2009, encourages Federal agencies to take deliberate and immediate action to eliminate fraud and improper payments. As part of the review of programs subsequent to this executive order, HHS has determined that additional information from each administering agency is necessary to assess grantee measures that are in place to prevent, detect or address waste, fraud and abuse in LIHEAP programs.

The Administration for Children and Families is requesting the Office of Management and Budget to authorize emergency processing of its information collection clearance of the LIHEAP Program Integrity Assessment and Plan in order for submission by grantees with their applications for fiscal year 2011 funding.

Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Governments.
